I'm sure all Ten Point scopes are quality products. The main differance between them and a VZ/LZ is gonna be that the Pro View scope is calibrated for a 300 FPS (20/30/40 yards crosshairs), if your bow is shooting higher or lower than 300 FPS your not going to be dead on using their scopes. With the VZ or LZ you adjust your scope to the speed of your bow (regardless of who makes it) and they are dead nuts on at 20/30/40/50 yards.

Unless you're using a 350gr arrow, it won't be shooting 305fps... :wink:

As Tye said, 305 FPS is with a minimum weight arrow and FFF string. I think the Phoenix averages around 290 FPS with most hunting set-ups, therefore it would be slighly off at 30/40 yards. I would just go with the VZ, you can get them for less than $90 at BHSS. The 10 PTs range from $109-149.

I have a TenPoint Pro-View on my Phoenix. I sighted in for the crosshairs to be on @ 15 - 25 - 35 yards and the bottom transition (thin/thick) of the duplex style crosshair also serves to give a fourth referance point which is on at 45 yards. With a dacron string or a Boo string with catwhiskers and a 380 gr arrow it's close enough to hit a 12 oz soda can at 45 yards offhand! I have shot off a bench rest with the same combo and it is plenty accurate out to 45 yards. It might be an inch off at 45, but I'm not shooting deer that far and even if I were it would still be close enough.
